Marchioness Tunnel

West wind in morning; 6˚ above zero at 6:30 a.m., 26 above at 7:45. Nothing in the traps. I do not understand the absences of small mammals, especially. Is it possible they are hibernating. Some tracks, but several days old, as the last sift of snow has obscured them. After breakfast found two in the traps at the stable. We killed a in the tunnel. Then climbed the mountain on north side of creek. and tracks. Saw two, but did not get a shot at them. Took two and saw half a dozen more. Saw at least one plainly with glass, but rough ground prevented a shot. Plenty of and  spp. Returned to house at noon for dinner.
